...My name is Carolyn, and I taught math and physics in Wisconsin for ten years. Currently, I am certified to teach math in both Wisconsin and Illinois, and I do substitute teaching at about ten different schools in both Illinois and Wisconsin. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Math education from Alfred University In New York.

...I've worked with many middle and high school students who struggle with organization and study skills. In fact, my primary role as a middle school resource teacher was to work with students, their teachers, and families on exactly these issues. Many of my my students had been quite successful in the lower grades, only to find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of middle and high school.

...I get a kick out of making my students fascinated with the world of Econ and Business. Through our tutoring sessions, we can also open them up to the multitude of career paths they can explore with these disciplines. That helps ignite the drive that fuels the student through his or her studies.

...I've developed an approach to these types of questions that make them considerably easier for students to tackle. I truly enjoy helping students to master the Reading portion of the ACT test. These passages often seem very different, even obscure, to students - based upon what they are used to reading in high school.

...I love language, kids, and teaching. Maybe one of the best things I've ever done as a teacher was to start a poetry club and spoken word poetry team at my school. Kids thrive there because it is a safe environment in which to use the written word to express themselves authentically.
